Before going away, we decided to stay for a week here, and there were several reasons for that!
One of them was… monster hunting! We wanted to hunt monsters around this place, so the goblins could be at ease with not as many threats roaming around.
Another thing was… bandit extermination! We wanted to kill all the groups of bandits around here that usually tried to capture the wild demi-humans around.
And the last reason was… fluffy and cute Gufumin! She was too cute, so I wanted to spend some time with this adorable little girl.
It was already the morning of the next day, and the Chief had invited us to stay inside his tent. It was small, but he and his daughter fit quite well, and we did too, all snuggling together.
With Lucifer behind me, and Partner in front of me, they made me a sandwich! It felt nice to sleep like this as well.
Although I was sure that there was something hard poking me from behind my butt…
Hehe… So, you’ve finally shown your true colors, Casanova!
I woke up and looked over at Lucifer, only to find him sleeping to the other side. His tail was poking into my butt.
Ah…
I guess I shouldn’t have made weird ideas. He’s really a pure-hearted devilish fallen dragon, after all.
He looked so cute sleeping that I could help but pet his hair and touch his ears.
What a handsome young man! I can’t believe I have him in my party. It is almost like I am dreaming…
And to the other side, the adorable Partner looking at me angrily!
“Eh?”
“Muuhh…”
“W-What’s wrong?”
“Muuhhh…”
I think she didn’t like how I was petting Lucifer while he slept.
“Okay, okay, I get it, here….”
I approached my hands towards her head and began to caress her little pointy ears, then, I caressed her long hair, and her happiness increased.
“Hehe…” She chuckled cutely, snuggling onto me.
“Good morning, sleepyhead,” I said.
“Good morning, master… Sleeping feels weird.” She said.
“Is it? I guess we don’t really need to sleep as Undead, but we still can do it. I like it though. Maybe because I am actually very lazy,” I admitted.
The cute Gufumin woke up before her father as she smiled cutely and jumped over our leather bed.
“Maria! Maria! Tell me more about the outside world!” She demanded.
“Little Gufumin, you’re so cute… P-Please have some mercy….”
She had jumped over me and was asking me cutely.
Her cute face was very close, and I felt the instinctual motherly sense of hugging this beautiful little green sprout!
“Ueh?”
I hugged her tightly before I sat her over my lap.
“Very well, I’ll tell you! The outside world is filled with terrifying monsters, giant boars, enormous hydras, dungeons where monsters appear, but treasures await, such as enormous human towns filled with EXP! And above all! …There’s not enough delicious food,”
“Eh?”
Indeed! I want to eat something other than just grilled meat! I should have stolen some salt when I could- wait a second… the carriage had some! Oh nice, then we’ll make up something good!
“Did you explore a dungeon?” Gufumin asked while moving her tiny feet around.
“Indeed, it was horrifying, dark, deep, and filled with ooze… Uegh, and giant bugs,” I sighed.
“Ooooh! I want to explore a dungeon one day too!” Gufumin said, her eyes shining brighter than ever.
She’s very pure… A total contrast from us monstrous vengeful undead…
Well, Partner is also pure-hearted, just jealous.
The chief suddenly woke up, discovering our secret conversation.
“Hm…? Ah! Gufumin, don’t annoy Lady Maria…” The chief said.
“Papa, Maria is telling me tales of the outside world!” Gufumin said.
“Again with that idea? *Sigh*… we just rescued you from being enslaved, and you still want to go to the outside world despite all the dangers?” The chief asked.
“Yeah! I want to meet mama! We’ll go on adventures together… And we’ll hunt monsters, and sell them… and have fun leveling up!” Gufumin said.
Right, where’s her mother?
The chief gritted his teeth, looking at the ground painfully.
“Y-Your mother was… reckless, Gufumin, you can’t be like her… I don’t… want to lose you.” The chief sighed as he grabbed her away.
“But I can come back and bring gifts! Like mommy that will one day come back! Right?”
“I-It’s not the same, daughter…” Sighed the chief.
I guess he doesn’t want to tell her that her mother most likely died…
Ugh… this is sad.
Little Gufumin, I will be your mama!
…No, I better not tell her this.
“Anyways! Let’s all eat some breakfast! I got some nice ingredients from the store!” I said, calming the mood.
“Food!” Gufumin said, raising her little arms.
“Food!” Partner said, raising her arms as well.
“Food! Eh?”
Even Lucifer did it! Oh my god, he’s already joining our stupid little things, huh? Look how far he has come in these short days!
“Mrao!”
Kuro came into the tent, licking my face.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Meow! Gakkh…!”
Suddenly, Kuro coughed a human finger.
Huh? I didn’t give him the corpses of the guys we killed yesterday; I was gonna use them for Undead Guardians for the tribe…
“Chief! T-There are several corpses outside!”
Suddenly, a goblin came out.
We rushed outside and found around five corpses that Kuro brought from wherever he went last night.
“T-These are bandits!” The chief shouted.
“Kuro, did you just go and kill a group of passing bandits?!” I asked.
“Meow!”
“Good boy!”
I rewarded him by petting him.
Best cat ever.
“But this is also bad. It means that they’re coming closer….” Said the chief.
“Is that so? Hmm… Don’t worry about that. We’ll go kill them after breakfast,” I said.
“S-So confident…”
“Lady Maria! thank you!”
“We’ll be forever grateful!”
“She’s such a beauty too!”
“Fueheh! That’s right! Praise me more! I am the best!”
“Cut it out already….” Sighed Lucifer, pulling my hoodie over my face.
Anyways, I began to browse through the stuff I had in my Inventory… there was salt, cheese, and even salted meat, bread, potatoes. There was actually a lot that this fat pig had for himself!
“How about we make a stew for the whole village? You guys must be hungry, right?” I said while winking.
“S-Stew?!”
“We have only been eating seeds for weeks….”
“UUUOOOOOOHH!”
I guess they were happy to have decent food for once…
